Timely, Canary, just about to get the strimmer out.
The babies look like teasels at first glance.

My garden is teeming with hedgehogs at the moment - which is great because they are my favourite animal.

I didn't realise they are born so late in the season.
Is there a name for baby hedgies?

Hoglets, Pasta. I always thought they were born June/July. My daughter and husband rescue hedgehogs. Delightful creatures, the hogs I mean.... ;-)

[pastafreak]

I'm sure your daughter and her husband are equally delightful. ;)

How cute,i have been feeding them for 2 years now and it's not uncommon for them to have a second litter in sept.These are the ones that will struggle to survive the winter unless they can get to a certain weight.

I like the name Urchins, widely used in the Middle Ages.
